The mail came yesterday. It contained the usual seasonal bills, magazines, and seed catalogs. Sorting through the pile, though, I came across a postcard from Europe. Perhaps my Dutch friends sent a greetings, I thought, then I read the message:
That’s in German…. So I flipped the card over:

Ha! Ha! Andy and Dougy never looked cuter!

Mystery solved: Smilla and Luke are Nicole’s children, and they are a delight! Need I add I am delighted with this greeting?!
What a very special card
I was delighted to get it!
How nice to get some real mail, and then find that splendid portrait of the boys.
Totally unexpected – and I am delighted!
So cute!
`Charming, I think!
Fun card and drawings.
The children captured the spirit of the kitties quite well, I think!
That is very sweet.
Yes, I agree! The kitty drawings are charming!
cute kitty
card 🙂
I was delighted!
Great idea – and it is a kind of christmas calendar at the same time – you are allowed only on line a day !
Yeah! A cute idea!
What a cool card!
They sent me another one once that was a piece of Swiss cheese with a mousie peeking out of a hole.
How cute!
Yes!
Liked the dot to dot of a reindeer.
Me, too!
And, did you? Join the dots? It’s an interactive postcard …
Only in my mind…!
I can understand that …
What a fine greeting and from so far. I’m glad you found the drawings cute….that’s about as good as my art gets also and I love viewing fine art like this. hehe
Have a great 2016 Doug.
Your friend.

I’m not sure how old the kids are now, but I think it must be something like 7 or 8 for Smilla and a year older for Luke. Their photos suggest they are fun children, and their drawings definitely are spot on!
They do seem like happy children and they love cats.
I think they are just that. Smilla in particular seems to be a character. There’s at least one photo of her making a monster face and another bunnyearing her brother Luke in the photo. In “normal” photos, though, she is a pretty little girl. Luke and Smilla look like happy children!
This is a kind thought for you and your two companions..
In friendship

Too bad they couldn’t send the Mercedes on the postage stamp instead…. Ha! The post card was totally unexpected, though we’d shared greeting on Facebook earlier.
very cool
Yes, I was delighted!
